The housemate from hell... Help !!!

I'm in need of funny slogans to put in the toilet and the kitchen, I shall explain the problem...

One of my housemates is a slob and it is driving me mad. I realise there is nothing to say he can actually read, but I'm willing to give this a go before I say things VERY bluntly to him.

Problem

1. He doesn't flush the toilet
2. He leaves the lid up (the dog then drinks his excrements, and leaves used toilet paper laying on the floor)

3. He doesn't clean his crumbs or anything else away
4. Instead of putting clean plates etc. away he leaves them piled on the side after removing them from the draining board.

So what I need is some funny slogans that relate to the above problems that I can put pictures to and put on the appropriate walls around the house, hopefully avoiding the blunt in-your-face talk.

His room is worse and stinks to high heaven, but he's been told as long as the smell doesn't start coming out we'll leave him to his embarrassment, when and if he finally gets a girlfriend.

Oooo girl been there done that and finally kicked the guy out, I could not stand being tidy up mother to him any longer, bad enough I have the kid to tidy up after.
Funny sayings huh, how about "Mommy didn't move in with you, and I am not her replacement, please tidy up after yourself."
"Flush or be flushed"
"A clean house is a happy house"
I dunno hun, the face to face may be your best bet.

Funny story! I had a teacher once who was afraid to be to tell a student he stunk! she dropped him hints. But never got it! She went as far as saying what kind of deoderant do you wear!!! So i think it would be easier if you went for the blunt!

It's part of the job description... I prefer to give people a chance before I lay into them, sometimes this goes wrong because I'm at the end of my tether by that point.

So far though we have learnt that the only thing that really works is to treat him like a child, so if simple words and drawings work for children... You get my drift ???

Re: The housemate from hell... Help !!!

Letha! Where you been?? Welcome back.
I had a similar problem a few years back. When my roomie refused to do dishes, I'd pile them, unrinsed, onto his bed. Under the blankets. Worked like a charm.
If he continued, I would post bills for my cleaning services, which were very expensive, and add the price to his rent.
